Fans Can Sign Up For The Closed Alpha For A Chance to Experience
Dynamic 4v1 Co-op Missions And Episodic Storytelling In A New BioWare
World

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA), today
announced Shadow Realms™, a new 4v1 story-driven online action
RPG, set in a constantly evolving BioWare world where modern meets
fantasy. Four heroes adventure against another player-controlled enemy,
a malevolent force called The Shadowlord, in dynamic 4v1 co-op missions,
ensuring that no two battles are ever the same. Players will have the
choice to play either as - or against - The Shadowlord, building
experience and progression whether they have chosen good or evil. The
over-arching narrative will be released episodically, playing out over
time like a great TV series, providing players the ability to experience
story-driven adventures as a community.

"This game brings us back to our roots in the realm of classic Pen and
Paper RPG, but also delivers something that's completely new and
innovative for our fans," said Jeff Hickman, General Manager and Vice
President at BioWare Austin. "Shadow Realms is a new BioWare RPG
that has the hallmarks of all BioWare games with a rich story, a unique
world setting and deep combat progression, but built as an interactive
experience that evolves the genre and broadens the appeal to online
gamers all over the world."

In Shadow Realms, Modern Heroes on Earth are being awakened and
recruited, because of magical powers they never knew they had, to fight
in a new and dangerous war against the Shadow Legions of Embra. The
Shadow Legions, who have been battling on Embra for years against the
members of the Radiant Empires, have gained new strength with the coming
of a powerful, unknown force that we call the Shadowlords. And, they
have just figured out how to leave Embra and invade Earth.

Join the battle with three other modern-day Heroes to fight the demonic
Shadow Legions and a player-controlled Shadowlord to save all of
humanity. Build both a Hero and Shadowlord that are deeply customized to
the way players want to play.

Shadow Realms is in development at BioWare Austin and will be
available for the PC from Origin™ at www.origin.com.
The game has not yet been rated the ESRB and PEGI; visit www.esrb.org
